Before you change 'em, get a film negative (or cycle gear sells a tool made by motion pro) & carefully work it between the seal & the tube. You may have some in the seal causing it to leak.

Motorcycles Unlimited rebuilt the forks on my yz125 for a very reasonable price, I'd recommend having a pro do 'em as you likely need to change the fluid & check the bushings.

When finished, get some seal savers & fork bleeders they greatly extend the life of fork seals; Also when tieing your bike down for transport get something to put between the front tire & fender to keep from bottoming your forks.

i watched a buddy do them, and it looked pretty easy. I personally have not done them myself though. He used a pvc pipe cut in half to set the seals in place. It may be a good time to respring and maybe revalve too.
